Q

principle of original innervation

A
  • in gastrulation, segmentation of body because newly-formed mesenchyme makes a segment pattern
  • a midline segmented vertebral column + paired nerves form. is the basis for tissue innervation

Q

3 functions of notochord

A
  1. induce overlying primitive ectoderm to form neural plate (neurectoderm of the future neural tube) (prechord also called prechordial plate also helps for this induction)
  2. induce the PNS
  3. induce the vertebral column later on

25
Q

last region to close (end of neural tube formation) in neurulation

A

caudal region

26
Q

important concept that links spinal cord and somites (mesenchyme aggregation (MET) and retinoic acid, etc.)

A

molecular linking between the spinal cord and the somites (the somites will lead to the spinal cord via retinoic acid)

27
Q

after neurulation, what do NCCs form along the neural tube (think of what they become)

A
  • aggregate to form the dorsal root ganglia that are segmented (associate with a somite and a region of the spinal cord)
  • will also form the meninges around the spinal cord and brain
28
Q

what’s a dorsal root ganglion in the spinal cord

A
  • cell bodies with dendrites projecting to tissues (and periphery, rest of the body) and axons projecting to the spine
  • brings sensory info to the spine
29
Q

segmentation of the spine with somites and dorsal root ganglia: what is the clinical relevance

A

explains the dermatomes and the myotomes patterns

30
Q

what forms the meninges (dura mater, arachnoid, pia mater)

A

NCCs

31
Q

what forms the SS chain and the PNS

A

NCCs

32
Q

after you have the neural tube completely formed with dorsal root ganglia, meninges, etc. what do somites do

A

on each side of the neural tube (of every neural tube level), somites form a cavity with a dermo-myotome on its outside and a sclerotome on its inside

33
Q

how do somites form cavities on each side of the neural tube

A

because mesenchymal stem cells in somites become differentiated, commit to form diff cell types (dermo-myotome cells, sclerotome cells)

34
Q

dermo-myotome will form what

A
  • the dermis under the epithelium

- the myotome will form the skeletal muscle (stem cells will differentiate)

35
Q

what will the sclerotome form

A

CT, specialized CT, cartilage and bone

36
Q

as the neurulation is completed, what does the lateral plate mesoderm do

A

it forms a cavity (the intra-embryonic coelum) separating the somatopleure (body wall) from the splanchnopleure (gut wall)

37
Q

what will the sclerotome do relating to the neural tube and what induces that

A
  • differentiates and migrates around the neural tube to form the vertebra
  • NCCs induce that
38
Q

gene that the notochord and floor plate of the neural tube continue to form (and have been forming since before neurulation)

A

sonic hedgehog. (SHH). It diffuses through neural tube, towards the sclerotome and this expression of SHH keeps diffusing laterally

39
Q

other gene that diffuses towards the sclerotomes

A

bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4)

-comes from roof plate of the embryo

40
Q

what is the effect of SHH FROM THE NOTOCHORD***on sclerotomes

A
  • induces EMT in ventro-medial somitic cells (initially mesenchymal SCs did MET to aggregate and form somites)
  • induces these new mesenchymal stem cells to make Pax-1
  • Pax-1 is important for cartilage and bone production by the sclerotome
41
Q

function of Pax-1 expressed by sclerotomal cells

A
  • is a TF

- important for cartilage and bone production

42
Q

effect of BMP4 on the sclerotomes

A

induces sclerotome mesenchymal stem cells expressing Pax-1 to migrate around the neural tube

43
Q

pattern of migration of sclerotomes around the neural tube

A

go towards the roof to form the lamina and go outwards to form the transverse processes of the vertebrae

44
Q

what determines the shape of the vertebra

A

diff types of hox genes being expressed at this stage still (where vertebrae being formed by sclerotome wrapping around) and will determine this segmentation: cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae

45
Q

structures formed by sclerotome migrating around notochord and neural tube on both sides

A
  • lamina (fuses to form spine of the vertebra)
  • centrum (body of the vertebra) and IV disc
  • transverse process
  • pedicle
46
Q

what induces the lamina to make it fuse and form the spine of the vertebra

A

the roof plate

47
Q

2 sources of formation of the vertebra and clinical relevance

A

ventral and dorsal aspect

-bad closure of neural tube = dorsal portion poorly stimulated and not formed properly

48
Q

what determines the cartilage model of vertebrae and what gives each vertebra its unique structure (needed for its spinal level)

A

cranial-caudal expression of a unique combination of hox genes. important until chondrification (basic form of vertebra being established) begins

49
Q

what happens if the neural tube/the lamina don’t close right

A

get spina bifida (a bifid vertebral spine (spinous process))

50
Q

possible defect in the cervical spine if there is an abnormal hox code expression and significance clinically

A 
cervical rib (formed by transverse process)
-can compress the brachial plexus and the nerves going to rib 1
51
Q

what can be the cause of an abnormal hox code expression leading to a cervical rib

A

retinoic acid abnormalities during the termination of the hox cord (end of hox cord pattern being established)

52
Q

what forms the centrum and IV disc at one spinal level

A

2 sclerotomes (one from each side)

53
Q

what does the notochord do as the vertebra is being formed by the 2 sclerotomes

A
  • regresses
  • helps for IV disc formation
  • will always remain as the nucleus pulposus in the IV disc
54
Q

how many cervical vertebra and how many cervical nerves

A

7 C vertebra
8 C nerves
shift between vertebra level and nerves level

55
Q

position of nerves relative to vertebrae in cervical and thoracic spinal levels

A 
C: nerve above corresponding vertebra
T: nerve is below corresponding vertebra
C7 nerve is above C7 vertebra
C8 nerve is below C7 vertebra
T1 nerve is below T1 vertebra
56
Q

shape of the vertebral column in the embryo

A

C shape (kyphosis all the way) inwards

57
Q

step after C shape column in the embryo

A

sacrum starts forming

58
Q

step after sacrum starts forming in the C shape column in embryo

A

neck starts forming

59
Q

step after neck and sacrum formed in the C shape column

A

get normal spine with C lordosis, T kyphosis, L lordosis, S kyphosis

60
Q

(important) what happens to the spine with age

A

IV discs contribute to the length of the whole vertebral column. because IV discs regress with age, the vertebral column becomes shorter and and its curvature changes
